"Tristan" is the third, and final, single from English singer-songwriter Patrick Wolf's second full-length album Wind in the Wires, the single was released on CD and limited 1000 vinyl.
Based on Tristram of Lyonesse, Patrick described the writing process in a 2005 interview:[citation needed]
"I took a holiday down to Cornwall in October, which down there is almost mid-autumn; it's very stormy and so you get this huge shipwrecking kind of weather down there. There was no-one around, no tourists. It was my first night there and I had taken down my organ to finish off some lyrics. Then I went for a long walk and suddenly a storm [arrived] in this very dangerous place. I came back safe and sound and dried myself off and suddenly this song 'Tristan' came rapping on the door. It came in two minutes. It was finished then and it was almost like a possession, like I was possessed for two minutes. And I wrote that song. I didn't really know what happened and then suddenly had this gift. It's like someone came to the door and jumped inside me, wrote a song and then ran away again."[citation needed]
In 2008, British singer-songwriter & producer Dev Hynes, using the name Lightspeed Champion,[citation needed] recorded a cover of the song which was released as a bonus track from his single, "Tell Me What It's Worth".[citation needed]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
